5.8 - Hell - Part 2
This week the guys are able to finish with the OT's voice on what happens to both the good and the wicked after they die. With the exception of a couple outliers, the picture is fairly uniform - wasting away in Sheol awaits all people at death. Isaiah and Daniel both offer apocalyptic nuances that show a shift in Israelite thinking/theology on the afterlife.

It's all about love this week on the ACP. From the Bible's perspective love is all about priorities and choices. But it's likely to go sideways if parents show more "love" for one child over another. This week the guys consider how favoritism can do damage and make a mess in a family's dynamic.
